Editing Images in Fireworks for Magazine Covers and Spreads
1. This is the image I have taken for
the front cover of my magazine but
I have edited it to improve it for my
front cover.
This is a picture I have taken for my
double page spread for my article. This
image will be edited with the lighting
for my double page spread.
2. I have taken this image for my
contents page. The lighting
helps to make the picture stand
out and make the quality of it
excellent.
I have taken this image for my
double page spread article. I
have used the same
background again for the good
lighting to make my picture
clear.
3. I have taken this image for my
contents page. This picture
relates to my article and is in
good quality to use.
4. This is the image I have taken for my
front cover, I have used macromedia
fireworks to edit it and improve it.
This is the edited version of my
image for my double page spread
that I will use
5.
6. As you can see in this image I am getting to grips with the program
fireworks with editing my images and adding things to them. I have
boxed the main part of my image to show this is the main focus of the
image.
7. In this screenshot I have started to change the hue/saturation of it and it
has helped change the colours of the image and made it look more
attractive than it previously was in the previous slide.
8. As you can see in this screen shot I am using the program macromedia
fireworks. I have used the marquee tool to cut a part of my image as I am
getting rid of parts of my image that aren’t needed so I can mainly focus on
the centre of the image where my model is.
9. In the screenshots below I have compared them to show how I
can change them using the hue/saturation tool in fireworks.
This allowed me to change the saturation the hue and the
lightness.
10. In these screenshots I am showing an image I have edited in the
first screen shot and showing what I have to do to make it into
the image on the right. I did this by using adjust colour then
clicking on invert and this is how I changed the image.
11. This is an example of how I wanted my front cover to look as I
liked the colour used as I found they match my masthead and
background of my magazine. I did this by adjusting the
brightness and contrast of my image which I found out to be a
very easy and helpful tool to use in editing my images. In the
second screenshot I just increased the brightness and
contrast and this was the result
12. In these screenshots I have used the paint tool to apply a sky blue
colour in my image to outline the model. In the first image there isn't
much thickness to my brush as its only at 8. In the second screenshot
I have changed the brush thickness to 33 and then did the same to the
image by outlining it and it turned out a lot thicker.
13. In these images I am experimenting how to change and adjust
brightness/contrast to my image. In my second image I am editing the
image using the Hue/Saturation tool and comparing these to image you
can see the difference between them.
14. As you see I am using the paintbrush tool just to get to grips with how the
program works by painting around the model in the image, I did this so I
could gain an idea of what sort of brush size I needed for my image etc.
